A string construction combining worldsheet orientation reversal with a suitable spacetime involution. It projects the spectrum and introduces fixed-locus sources whose charges must be treated together with branes and fluxes. In compactifications, such projections can reduce supersymmetry and modify the gauge and matter spectrum. Charge cancellation is part of consistency.
